Press Release

General Manager Warren Rychel announced today the club has signed another pair of picks from the 2013 OHL Priority Selection, as defenceman Liam Murray and centre Aaron Luchuk have agreed to OHL Contract and Standard Education Packages.

Murray (6', 175) was Windsor's 3rd Round selection, #43 overall in 2013. In 45 games with the Eastern Ontario Wild, he had 14 goals and 17 assists to go with 38 penalty minutes last season.
